I made this for my fiance's going away party and scaled it to 24 servings. Instead of adding all of the water, however, I substituted 1 bottle of lime vodka for that equal amount of water. I did not add the ice to blend, and placed the limeade in a dispenser, put it in the freezer for about 3 hours, and just kept it on ice after that. Many people enjoyed it and two of my fiance's male coworkers even asked for the recipe. It was a great hit!

I like this recipe, I did tweak the amount of sugar in it by cutting it in half. I loved it! I feel like I am back in Latin America when I drink it. Thanks for sharing it!

This is absolutely delicious! I prepared it just as the recipe called for and it was perfect. I think if you peel the lime first you won't get the zesty flavor and that may be why some people complained of it being too sweet.I will definitely make this again!

This is delicious. A little to sweet for some, so add sugar according to your taste.

I placed 3 limes (peel and white pith removed), 1/3 cup sugar,3 tablespoons condensed milk and water in a blender. Strain. Place ice in a glass and pour the lemonade over the ice. delicious.

I peeled the limes to avoid straining the lemonade, however it still needed to be strained due to the limes' membranes remaining which detracted from the drink. It was a bit weak - perhaps add another lime? I added about 2 cups crushed ice and the lemonade overflowed the blender container when I turned it on. Tasted o.k. but probably won't make again.

yummy. I cut down a smidge on the sugar, but otherwise followed the recipe - I think keeping the peels on adds a little extra zip that the sugar balances nicely. Will be a standard for us!! Funny story, though - one time last summer, without thinking, I strained the peels out as I would have strained pasta - with the lemonade going down the sink!! Aghgh!!!

This was really good! Everyone liked it however even after doubling the recipe it wasn't enough! I think next time I will try peeling the limes first. Great!

This was really good. Everyone at the party liked it; however, I reccomend that you double it. It doesn't make very much. I also peeled the limes and skipped that whole straining part.

One of the easiest drinks I've ever made. I really liked this, but it did have a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Maybe I'll peel the limes next time...

This is very good and so refreshing. As others suggested I did put in less sugar and it was perfect. The creamy consistancy is a nice twist on the usual limeade. Definitely one I will make again. Thanks for sharing!

Very yummy! The milk makes it nice and frothy. It was a little too sweet for me though so next time I will try it with less sugar and/or a little more water. A very nice unique summer drink. One year later - STILL a definite favorite, just a note I thought I should add is to be cautious about making it too far in advance from when you intend to serve it, after a few hours it goes quite bitter so serve right away.

Not being very fond of sweet drinks, I cut the sugar to 1/4 cup and added an extra lime because they were small. Refreshing and delicious; even better after the rum was added!
